Borgward7: All right, I will tell you why we Nikon faithful get so freakin' annoyed with Nikon -- because it's run by engineers, not by business professionals. Good design, bad follow-through. Case in point: I got the recent D750 technical advisory email from Nikon on Feb. 29, and I sent my D750 to the Nikon Melville (NY) repair facility on March 1. On March 7, I got a camera-received acknowledgement from Nikon, and soon after that the repair-information function on the Nikon website reported that my camera was in the shop on a "Parts - Hold" status.

So are you getting this? NIKON SENT OUT A SERVICE ADVISORY TO THOUSANDS OF D750 OWNERS WITHOUT HAVING ENOUGH PARTS TO DEAL WITH EVEN THE CAMERAS THAT WERE SENT IN TO THEM THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER THE ADVISORY WAS ISSUED.

So who knows when I'll see my D750 again. To ease my feelings of desolation and deprivation, I went out and immediately bought a D810. So now you see, I hope, how we Nikon thralls suffer under the yoke of Nippon Kōgaku.

I received the advisory notice, then requested a service check. Now I'm waiting for them to send me a return package to send my camera back. They said they're staggering it (I guess they can't cope with them all at once). It's been about a week, no idea how long it will take. Oh I'm based in the UK.

Apart from only having a DX sensor, my two gripes with the D7000 were the metering (overexposing) and abysmal low light autofocus. The D610 didn't seem much of an improvement, but here we have not just a camera that gets them right, but knocks it out of the park in pretty much every other department, too. Looks like the perfect upgrade and at a pretty reasonable price.

stawarz: So will this set a precedent whereby if an animal takes a picture of itself the photographer who's equipment took the image no longer assumes copyright? Now what happens to all the other wildlife pictures whereby they were triggered by the animal tripping a remote release and not by the photographer, have they in fact taken a selfie?

So it's down to whether or not someone has the idea first? Well, I guess he should just reissue his statement and claim that it was his idea to give the monkey his camera allowing it to take selfies.

vFunct: Lightroom is awful and simply not as good as Aperture. Lightroom focuses on garbage features like Lens Correction, when the features like metadata workflow is FAR more important to a professional photographer than any "lens correction" ever could be.

No client in the world has EVER cared about lens distortion & correction. They don't even NOTICE it. So why the hell does Lightroom even include that as a "feature"? They should be trying to get their metadata workflow to be as good as Aperture's.

Really, Lightroom is only for high-end amateurs and other prosumers. It really isn't a professional calibre photo tool like Aperture is.

Meanwhile, looking over the Photos demo from WWDC, it does look like it's more Aperture than iPhoto, so that is a sign of relief. Also, it looks like we'll be able to move the Aperture database over to Photos, so that probably means it has Aperture's feature set, maybe including stacks and so on... dunno... we'll see.

How exactly is street photography or street photographers voyeuristic or perverse? Because they're unaware of being photographed? Big deal. You see these people about in public doing public things – what's the difference if you record what you see or not?
